Overview
- U.S. Figure Skating named a 16-athlete squad for the Milan-Cortina Games after the St. Louis nationals, led by men's champion Ilia Malinin, women's champion Amber Glenn, and ice dance leaders Madison Chock and Evan Bates.
- Maxim Naumov secured his first Olympic berth with a third-place finish at nationals, a year after losing his parents in a mid-air collision near Washington, D.C., and he dedicated the achievement to them.
- The men's entries are Malinin, Andrew Torgashev, and Naumov; the women's team is Glenn, Alysa Liu, and Isabeau Levito; ice dance teams are Chock/Bates, Emilea Zingas/Vadym Kolesnik, and Christina Carreira/Anthony Ponomarenko; pairs are Ellie Kam/Danny O'Shea and Emily Chan/Spencer Howe.
- Reigning U.S. pairs champions Alisa Efimova and Misha Mitrofanov were left off because Efimova lacked a U.S. passport by the selection deadline despite waiver efforts; third-place pairs finishers Katie McBeath and Daniil Parkman were also ineligible due to passport status.
- U.S. Figure Skating said selections reflected strong nationals performances within eligibility rules, and the team heads to Italy for the Winter Olympics running February 6–22.
